Tropical Cyclone Kirrily Slams Queensland Coast with Heavy Rains

 In Event News

Tropical Cyclone Kirrily, previously a category three storm, hit the Queensland coast, bringing heavy rain and wind gusts reaching 170km/h. The cyclone was initially downgraded to Category Two and then into Category One as it moved inland. The wind gusts also saw a downfall from 224 km/h. at Thursday afternoon to 82km/h by midnight.

Despite the downgrade, the cyclone will still bring strong winds and heavy rain inland. The Queensland premier, Steven Miles, earlier had requested federal assistance in anticipation of the cyclone’s impact and had also declared a disaster. A severe weather warning remains for areas further north, including Cairns and Port Douglas, with potential winds exceeding 100km/h.

As Kirrily advances inland, it carries a lot of moisture along with it. In the next 24 hours, isolated rainfall of around 300mm is anticipated, accompanied by a storm tide between Townsville and Mackay. The alert will stay in place until Friday morning.
